Oct-22-04		capanegra: Highly interesting battle, but White should have won at some point, I presume. For instance, what if 49.d5?

Oct-22-04		Calli: If 48.Qd5 - May just be drawn at that point. Earlier 37.Bb2! appears to win 37... Qxb2 38.Nxg6+ Kg8 39.Nxf4 Rxf4 40.Rxd7 Rxe4 41.Qxh5 threatens mate and the rook.

Oct-24-04		capanegra: 37.b2!, very nice <Calli>, thanks! However, I still see winning chances after that slip. Probably Burn's last mistake was 43.h3? Instead, he could have continued with the simple 43.g3 g4 44.h3 e3 45.f3 e7 (or f7) 46.xg6 xg6 47.xg6 xg6 48.g3+ etc.

Jul-29-12		Karpova: After 35...c5 click for larger view Dr. Emanuel Lasker: <An elegant move, which is, moreover, founded on the logical requirements of the position. The knight at e4 is occupied in guarding the g-pawn; the pawn at d4 defends the e5-square, the gate of the center, through which the stream of Black pieces would like to flow for the counterattack.> From the St. Petersburg 1909 tournament book, translated by Richard Teichmann.
